“Only someone who isn’t a fool stands a chance of not being bothered by being deemed a fool by a fool.”

“Among other possibilities, money was invented to make it possible for a foolish man to control wise men; a weak man, strong men; a child, old men; an ignorant man, knowledgeable men; and for a dwarf to control giants.”

“Wise people take revenge by succeeding with love. A fool takes revenge with resentment and hate.”

“Foolish men always believe that a little knowledge will give them control over the world, but it is no more than a display of their vanity.”

“It is ignorance that is at times incomprehensible to the wise; for instance, he may not see ‘the positive person’ or ‘the negative person’ in such a black and white way as many people do. A wise man may not understand it because, as a catalyst of wisdom, but not always wise in his own eyes, even he can learn from and give back to fools. To think that an individual has absolutely nothing to offer to the table is counter-intuitively what the wise man considers to be ‘the ignorance of hopelessness’.”

“Any fool can hope when success lies plainly in view. It wants genuine strength to hope when matters are hopeless.”

“What glitters may not be gold; and even wolves may smile; and fools will be led by promises to their deaths.”

“I don’t know everything. No one does, and only the foolish seek to.”

“Don’t show a friend your gift, or your bag of money if you still want to maintain your relationship, but if nay, go on, and all you’ll see is hate and jealousy, and you’ll fight with him in the street like a dog and all you’ll feel is regret.”

“The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.”

“The fool who knows his folly Becomes wise by that fact.But the fool who thinks he’s wise – He’s called ‘a fool’ indeed!”

“A knavish speech sleeps in a fool’s ear.”
